     423B.05 Incorporation, government by board. 

    Subdivision 1.    Members, terms, elections.  The 
 association must be incorporated.  It must be governed by a 
 board of nine members.  The Minneapolis city council shall 
 appoint two persons to serve as members.  Those members must be 
 appointed for a term of two years.  All city appointments are 
 effective from January 1 in the odd-numbered years through 
 December 31 in the even-numbered years.  The other members of 
 the board must be elected by the members of the association.  
 Board members elected from the active membership have a term of 
 five years.  Board members elected from the retired or surviving 
 spouse membership must have a term of three years.  An elective 
 member of the board holds office until the person's successor is 
 elected and has qualified.  A vacancy in the office of an 
 elective member of the board must be filled by a special 
 election called for that purpose.  There are three classes of 
 board members, consisting of a class comprised of active board 
 members, a class comprised of retired board members, and a class 
 comprised of surviving spouse board members.  Active members of 
 the relief association may only vote for active board member 
 positions.  Retired members of the relief association may only 
 vote for retired board member positions.  Surviving spouse 
 members of the relief association may only vote for the 
 surviving spouse board member positions.  Once established, a 
 retired board member position and a surviving spouse board 
 member position must remain as such. 

    In 1994, for the election for board member seat G, the 
 board member position must be filled by a surviving spouse 
 member.  In 1995, for the regular election for board member seat 
 C, previously held by an active member, the board member 
 position must be filled by a retired member.  In 1999, for the 
 regular election for board member seat B, previously held by an 
 active member, the board member position must be filled by a 
 retired member.  

    The following sets forth the schedule for the election of 
 the seven elected board member positions on the Minneapolis 
 police relief association board:

 accordance with the election procedures outlined in this section.

    Subd. 2.    Articles of incorporation.  The affairs of 
 the association must be regulated by its articles of 
 incorporation and bylaws. 

    Subd. 3.    Continuation of board.  Notwithstanding the 
 provisions of section 423A.01, subdivision 2, or any other law, 
 the board of trustees and its successors established under 
 subdivision 1 shall continue to govern the association until 
 there are no more than 100 members of the police pension fund.  
 The fund thereafter must become a trust fund in accordance with 
 section 423A.01, subdivision 2.
